Teenage Zombies

A crazed female scientist uses nerve gas to turn local teenagers into her unquestioning zombie slaves. Four teenagers, Reg, Skip, Julie and Pam go out for an afternoon of water skiing on a nice day. They come ashore on an island that is being used as a testing center for a scientist named Dr. Myra and agents from "an Eastern power." They seek to turn the people of the United States into easily controlled zombie-like creatures. The agents steal Reg's boat, stranding the teenagers on the island. The four friends are then held captive in cages, able only to speculate on their fate. Though they have already been testing the formula on convicts and drunks, Dr. Myra and the agents plan to conduct final tests on the teenagers before they use it on the rest of the country. Meanwhile, two more teenagers, Morrie and Dot, whom the other four had planned to meet later, search for their missing friends. After a series of suspicious encounters, they urge the corrupt sheriff to search the island where their friends are trapped. —Jim Cobb <gymcobb@azstarnet.com> Six teenagers, Regg, Julie, Skip, Pam, Morrie and Dot, are planning a water skiing afternoon aboard Regg's speedboat. Pepper suggests a visit to an unknown island, with Morrie and Dot joining the other four later. After lunch, the four teenagers go exploring and find odd-behaving people moving about the island and, later, a strange old house hidden among the trees. In that remote fastness Dr. Myra, a scientist of sorts, has been experimenting with humans, striving to come up with a slave race via nerve gas that induces a zombie-like state. Morrie and Dot, curious over their four friends' long absence, bring the town sheriff. He shrugs off the incident (for monetary gain), thereby disclosing hie allegiance to Dr. Myra. Regg then takes charge of the situation. —Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
